Hollywood party crasher's grand slam includes Oscars

big type in post

Avatar has grossed $429 million domestically, which means that it only needs to gross $172 million to pass Titanic as the top-grossing film of all time. “That’s a steep climb,” states MovieTickets.com Executive Vice President Walt Borchers, “but with the volume of ticket buying we’ve seen on our site over the past month, there is a very good chance that it could, in fact, break Titanic‘s record.” A month after going into release, Avatar is still going strong. It accounts for 76 % of all tickets sold at MovieTickets.com, which reports over 200 sold-out performances in coming weeks. 168 are for 3D or IMAX 3D. Of course those premium ticket prices have inflated Avatar‘s numbers, so real comparisons with Titanic are difficult.

MT: As I mentioned above, I consider Michael one of my mentors, but when I joined the Voyager staff, he was just a consultant on the show. It wasn’t till I joined the Dead Zone staff that I got to work with him directly. Like Ira, he was a consummate pro who was intensely engaged with the characters and stories he created, but who rewarded writers for thinking outside the box and avoiding anything that smacked of convention.

The first rule of Galactica Fight Club is…UNFINISHED BUSINESS

ProgGrrl: “Unfinished Business” (and even more so the extended cut included on the season three DVD set) really broadened the view of so many of the personal relationships between the show's characters. Other than establishing the reason for the drastic changes in the Lee and Kara dynamic that were first shown in the season two finale, what other major goals were on the plate when writing this episode?

MT: Well, in a general sense, we just wanted to fill in some of the backstory of that missing year, and to do it through the lens of some single eventful day in the lives of our characters. When I first pitched the idea of doing a Fight Club-like episode, Ron thought it would be the perfect present-day bookend to pair with those beats from the past. But there were no real “goals” beyond that general intent, apart from putting the Kara-Lee relationship front and center and taking it to a new place. The story also evolved in a very organic and unconventional way, partly as a result of production and scheduling issues. Because the New Caprica exterior sets had to be struck before this episode—the eighth of the season—was slated for production, we ended up writing and shooting the entire past storyline first, then returning a couple of months later to shoot the present-day boxing sequences. Given that this was my first bg episode, it was a bracing immersion in the unconventional BSG creative process that Ron Moore fostered (translation: Ron threw me in the deep end of the pool and laughed while I floundered), but ultimately very liberating.

"I don’t care who frakkin’ knows!" Baggage delivered in UNFINISHED BUSINESS

PG: In an interview you did around the time “Razor” aired you mentioned that the editor of “Unfinished Business,” Michael O’Halloran, was the one who campaigned for the longer cut to get on the DVD. What are your feelings about the broadcast cut versus the longer cut, now that both are available for all to see?

Longer post with cut

Here is a longer post.

I've placed some videos after the cut.

Note that we can adjust the "Read me!" line to say anything we want, but it will always be the same. Also can adjust it to mention the name of the post. IE it could say "Read more of (POST TITLE) under here..." or something.

The site that gave me this coding says that it only works on the first page of your main page...but I tested that, and it doesn't seem to be true on blogger at the moment. We could play with it and find out...doesn't really matter if it's not true.

And here is the rest of this post.

My suggestions for the cut-line text are:

Continue reading (POST TITLE) under here...

(POST TITLE) continues...

Continue under the cut...

Keep reading...

and so forth.

This is a short post

OK I am doing 2 test posted based on this guy's blogger hack code.

Here's a post without a cut.

Unfortunately the "read more" line is going to appear on EVERY POST. Whether there's a cut of not.

That is the nature of this hack...unless you can figure out some way around it?

I notice you need to add line breaks so that the "read more" line isn't on the same line as your final above-cut sentence. Maybe we could build some line breaks into the cut line.
